The invention relates to
a diamond-like
carbon coating and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of coatings. The preparation is carried out in a closed field unbalanced magnetron
sputtering system, and the
system is at least provided with a
titanium target, a
graphite target and a linear
ion source; the preparation method comprises the following steps: pretreating a base material, removing
surface moisture, transferring the base material into a
vacuum chamber, and carrying out
ion cleaning and activation; adjusting bias
voltage, then turning on a
titanium target power supply, cleaning a
target surface, depositing a gradient layer, turning off the
titanium target power supply, turning on a
graphite target power supply to carry out
hydrogen-free deposition, and after deposition is finished, carrying out furnace cooling in a vacuum environment. According to the
diamond-like
carbon coating provided by the invention, the
graphite target material is adopted, under the condition that
hydrogen-containing gas and a
metal transition layer are not introduced, a closed field unbalanced magnetron
sputtering technology is combined with linear
ion source auxiliary deposition, the
DLC coating with excellent
biocompatibility is prepared, and the problem of biotoxicity caused by element
dissolution is greatly reduced.
